Question
Hi,

I am doing a project in school about mainly France. I need to know the Human Rights of those living in France and I was wondering if you could help me. I know you specialize in the Middle East, but if you could at least give me a website listing them, that would be great.

Thank you,

Julianna

Answer
Hi Julianna, thanks for your question.  I'm sorry I don't have any background in French human rights, but Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International would be good sites to check.  They usually do a country-by-country report.

Hope this helps!

Expertise

I can answer questions about human rights work as a vocation, human rights as they pertain to the Middle East and/or Muslim world, particularly Palestine/Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan. While in Iraq, I helped to investigate prisoner abuses, including those at Abu Ghraib. I can also answer questions on women's rights in the Middle East. I cannot give you legal advice.

Experience

I was a human rights worker for four years in the Middle East, including Palestine, Israel, and Iraq. I also participated in a human rights delegation to Afghanistan in summer 2005. I have an MA in Christian-Muslim relations, with special study on women's issues; I also worked one year for an Arab women's grassroots human rights organization. I am currently working to build an interfaith peace-teams based human rights organization
